Sony chose to focus exclusively on software at its 2018 E3 briefing, leaving us none the wiser about the second iteration of PlayStation VR.

It did, however, show off a new VR game by FromSoftware: Décariné, which casts the player as a spirit summoned by a young girl in a secluded Japanese boarding school. The game is still in an early stage of development and little is known about the gameplay, so it's possible that it could ultimately arrive on PlayStation VR 2.

At 2 million units sold and counting, PlayStation VR may lead the pack in high-end headset sales, but Sony recently admitted that PSVR had fallen far short of its sales projections.

With the PlayStation 5 reportedly a few years out from release, Sony is likely working on a successor to PlayStation VR that will take advantage of next-gen hardware to up its resolution, pixel quality and refresh rate.

Sony did technically release a second PSVR headset late last year: the CUH-ZVR2added HDR compatibility, integrated headphones and a smaller connective cord. But, the true PSVR 2.0 will feature a much greater jump in specs.

The main question is, will the PlayStation VR 2 simply improve on its predecessor’s visuals, or will it add features like 6DoF tracking or even go wireless to compete with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive?

We’ve got the latest rumors and industry insider info on what the PlayStation VR could look like, its likely release date, potential backwards compatibility and more.
